Visible images from 21 June are displayed above. According to NOAA: “With the established performance of NOAA\u2019s new geostationary satellites, GOES-16 (as GOES-East) and GOES-17 (as GOES-West), and a healthy GOES-14 in reserve, NOAA can provide GOES-13 to the Air Force for their weather forecasting needs. After a check of the GOES-13 instruments, NOAA will operate the satellite on behalf of the Air Force during its remaining life span.”<\/p>\n
